In western culture, we often need a goal or a concrete reason to do something, so often when you see yoga or meditation workshops advertised, there will be some solid benefits included like reducing stress, becoming fitter, sleeping better… I even have some benefits listed to advertise my own yoga sessions. Is it, however, misleading […]
11 yoga asana beach photos taken in Rishikesh India
On the day after my yoga TTC graduation at Rishikesh Yog Peeth, a few of us went to the nearby beach for a photo session, thanks to Suzie from Empower Yoga & Fitness who took all these beautiful shots. P.S. And finally, although I think there’s a place to photograph yoga asanas (this was a […]
Andrew Holocek’s lucid dream sculpting course: first impressions
Every human being on this planet sleeps and dreams. Have you ever wondered what’s going on when you sleep and dream? What are those shadowy states of consciousness we all share?

These yoga cleansing techniques (kriyas) are intense

15 photos of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi/ Beatles Ashram
I had no idea what to expect when I visited the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ashram in Rishikesh — the ashram where the Beatles visited in the 60’s, but I’m so glad I had the chance to see it. The ashram was abandoned in the mid 90’s after being home to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who developed Trancendental Meditation […]
This is how I’m learning to love anatomy & physiology
When I’m being taught yoga, I love it when a teacher succinctly describes why we’re focusing on a particular part of our bodies. For example, rather than saying, we’re strengthening the soleus muscle, they instead would say why this is important, or give a quick benefit that’s easy to relate to. The muscle of the […]
7 partner yoga photos from my yoga TTC in Rishikesh

It’s week four of my yoga teacher training at Rishikesh Yog Peeth and we’re having a week of being taught by the 300 hour students […]
